Re: Mason Dixon TnT 11/12 11am-4pm
I'll say, the day at first seemed a bit disappointing. No one was running too well, most ET's in the 13's and high 12's. Then Phil goes out for the first run in his car in like a year or so, and runs this 12.5. That really turned the day around, got people excited, and they started going out and running faster and faster.
Also, Mason Dixon is not a fast track, especially for trap speeds. Based on my experiences there, I'd say add 2-3MPH to get to what a car would turn down at BG. One of these days we need to caravan down to MIR and really run some fast times.

Thanks for posting Bob.
David - next time turn your radio off. I think the antenna drag is slowing yu down. |

Thanks for posting the vids. Had my car at my shop ready to go but 2 guys decided not to show up for work 2day. Glad all had a great time. I ended up taking the car out for some high speed runs at the end of the day to help cure the Z Jones.
So I guess Dr.Phil had the hot shoe! What happened to DJ's wheels? they didn't look like the FM5's he just put on several weeks ago |

Thanks for taking and posting the videos Bob. It was a great day for ZR-1 enjoyment. We had eight ZR-1's and nine WAZOO members.
Thanks Paul for being our race coordinator and setting up the pairings. It was a lot of fun racing Mike head to head. Our cars seem to be very closely matched and and we both have 4.10:1 rear ends. Now we know he is the better driver. It was good to see everyone having fun!! Jim
